Support GitIssue
GitIssue runs on the free plan of each service that it uses. Your support moves it to paid plans, so it is faster and more reliable for you and your testers.
I built GitIssue alone so that maintainers get bug reports that they can fix. To keep it free for every repo, it runs on free plans. They work, but each one has limits, and you can feel some of them when many testers report at the same time.
Below is each limit, and what changes when it moves to a paid plan. The list is in order: the first items fix what testers notice most.
Faster AI drafts with a paid Groq plan
Now: The free Groq plan gives a small number of tokens each minute. When many testers ask for a draft at the same time, GitIssue must wait, or it tells them the AI is busy.
With your support: Higher limits, so drafts come back at once, also when your full team reports bugs on release day.
A private and reliable backup AI with a paid Gemini plan
Now: Gemini writes the draft when Groq fails. On the free plan, Google can use that data, which includes parts of your repo code, to improve its models.
With your support: On the paid plan, Google does not use your bug reports or code to train its models. The backup also gets higher limits, so it is there when Groq is busy.
Longer time limits with Vercel Pro
Now: The free Hobby plan is for personal projects. Each request must finish in 60 seconds, so the main AI and the backup must share that time. There are also low monthly limits for traffic and server functions.
With your support: More time for each request, so a slow AI answer does not fail. Higher monthly limits, so the site stays fast when more teams use it.
A database that never sleeps with Supabase Pro
Now: A free Supabase project pauses after a week with no activity. It has a small database, 1 GB for screenshots, and no daily backups.
With your support: The database never pauses. Daily backups keep your reports and saved devices safe. More storage keeps the screenshots in your issues online.
Its own domain name
Now: The address of GitIssue ends in vercel.app. Each issue and comment that GitIssue posts has a link to this address.
With your support: A short address that is easy to remember and to trust. The links in your issues continue to work if GitIssue moves to a different host.
Error tracking and uptime alerts
Now: When something fails, I see it only in the server logs, and the free plan keeps them for a short time. If the site stops, I know only when someone tells me.
With your support: An error tracking service and uptime alerts tell me about a problem at once, often before you see it.
Dictation in every browser
Now: Dictation uses the speech engine that is in the browser. Some browsers, such as Firefox, do not have one, so testers there must type.
With your support: A speech-to-text service that works in every browser and knows technical words, such as the names of frameworks and error codes.
Larger AI models
Now: The free limits are smallest on the largest models, so GitIssue uses a model that fits the free plan and sends only short parts of the repo.
With your support: Larger models that read more of the repo, so drafts follow your template better and find the correct screen names more often.
An outside security review
Now: GitIssue keeps your GitHub token encrypted, and automated security tests run on each change. I do these checks myself.
With your support: A security expert from outside the project examines the code, so you can trust GitIssue with access to your repos.
Tests on real phones
Now: I test on the devices that I have and in browser emulators.
With your support: A real device testing service, so GitIssue works on the phones and browsers that your testers use.
More time for GitIssue
Now: I build GitIssue alone, in my free time.
With your support: More hours for the features that maintainers ask for, and faster fixes for the bugs that you report.
If GitIssue saves your team time, help it grow
Each coffee or sponsorship goes to the upgrades above, in that order. GitIssue is open source under the MIT license, so each upgrade helps every maintainer who uses it.
